Therapy for your Family

Doesn’t Have to Suck.

Are you up all night thinking about your family’s struggles?

Do you feel overwhelmed when it comes to how much parenting information is out there?

Does parenting make you feel disconnected from your partner?

Do you wish you could talk to a professional who sees how amazing your relationships are and can help you navigate them in more connecting ways? 

Let’s embark on a collaborative journey of growth and transformation together - I’ll give you access to the comprehensive support you’ve been seeking that is custom-tailored to your family's needs.

Parenting Coach And Youth And Family Therapist

Does this sound familiar?

Caregivers:

  • You believe your child is neurodiverse, struggling with anxiety and/or depression.

  • They worry a lot, disengage from family members, or just seem generally unhappy or “different”.

  • You know your child is bright and interesting, but the world doesn’t seem to appreciate their contributions.

  • You want your child to recognize their strengths and abilities and be able to use them at school and in life.

Couples:

  • You feel like you and your partner are stuck in a cycle of miscommunication or emotional distance.

  • You both care deeply for each other, but disagreements often leave you feeling misunderstood, unheard, or disconnected.

  • You know your relationship has the potential to be stronger, and you want to feel the love, support, and partnership that you know exists between you.

  • You want to break free from the recurring patterns, rediscover emotional intimacy, and build a healthier, more connected relationship where you can thrive together.

Youth:

  • You feel like you’re struggling with things at school but you aren’t getting the help you need to feel and do better.

  • You want to improve your relationships at home and at school, but you don’t have anyone to talk to that really gets it.

  • You’re not really sure where you fit in, and it can be uncomfortable and isolating to be yourself.

  • You feel like you have skills and interests that aren’t being seen or valued.

  • You feel anxious or depressed at times and you’re not sure what to do.

I watch this new understanding of the mind unfold in my work and I see every day how parents are able to extend compassion and connection to their kids once they learn how to do it for themselves. What a privilege.
** Hear me out - I don’t mean lovebombing in the manipulative, coercive sense, it’s just a catchy way of getting your attention ;) Toddlers are used to getting told no, to being told they’re wrong, and to feeling like their caregi
Parents, are you using coercion when you could be using collaboration? I’m constantly asking myself this question! Coercion by definition means to persuade someone to do something using threats or force. As a parent, I really want to avoid th

The best advice I give to parents around food is letting go of control. Many children go through selective eating periods, and trying to use force to encourage them to change their habits will likely reinforce the behaviour. And if your child is ex
As a couples therapist, my take on working with a therapist is that if there’s enough good will left to hope that your partner can be what you need and vice versa, it’s absolutely worth booking a couples session to find ways of making tha
I can tell you from my experience with teenagers in therapy that pushing teens away from us by setting firm boundaries without considering their feedback will move them towards getting more creative to meet their goals. 💔 If you can cultivate an op
By rejecting the idea of authority and inviting the mindset shift into collaboration and partnership, you actually gain trust and influence because your kids don’t fear you, they feel seen by you, they feel heard, supported, and understood. 🌸
Someone once said to me, “you have to be calm all the time as a parent!”, and I used to think that way too. Here’s why that mindset can add to the pressure cooker that sends us away from our kids and into dissociation. The full te
It’s easier and much less painful in the short term to turn a blind eye to our children’s feedback and focus on controlling their behaviour versus doing the deep, reflexive work that is required to remain connected, collaborative and peac
